Does this thing last, for how long? I am afraid it will no longer fold up in the night.

My husband had one for 4 years before it broke. I bought this one for him and one for my daughter. They both use these every day. They have had no problem with them folding back up. They are very useful and would not hesitate to purchase another one when needed.

I've had mine for over a year now. I find it is well made. Yes it folds up for night driving. I use mine even when I'm not blocking strong sunlight but just to cut regular daytime glare that aggravates my dry eye

I am very happy with my purchase. It clips on easily, folds back and forth without effort and is tinted. I have been using since Jan 2014. Hope this helps.

There aren't any fancy parts, but the parts are plastic, so it won't take abuse. I wouldn't think it would jam and it could be pulled off the visor in an emergency. I need to say that the visibility with the visor is POOR due to cheap plastic and I would rate it as dangerous.

It has never been folded up since it has been purchased. I don't know if I ever knew that it could be folded up?

You can fold it but if you do the leg extension will hit the floor so it must be removed. Even if you fold it: It's not so light and unless you have a big walk-in closet, where will you store it. I found that if it's always up you will use it daily with all the benefits. I use before bed for 5-10 minutes.

I fold it back all the time and have had no problem. But, I've only had mine a short time.

I haven't had problems, but bear in mind that I don't use it real often. I know it should not collapse. Hope it helps.

Depends on how gentle your kids are when folding it up. One of the tabs broke, but the upper platform can still be manually folded up. So it still works, just takes a tiny bit more effort to fold it closed for storage. We've had it for over a year now.

Same with mine. I stored it as instructed (with the fabric between the folds) in a cool dark place and it's turned rock hard. I also contacted the company and no response. Buyers beware.

I am not sure about folding it. It does work when it is draped. I just folded it and it does work.

No you wouldn't want to leave it up over night any ways. It does come with a bag to store it

We got this end of January of this year, so had it almost 6mths & it's used every day on a couch that doubles as a bed. We don't take if off when using the couch, & so far it has held up really well. Wasn't sure how long it would last, especially with daily use & many people sitting on it, but am pleasantly surprised. It hasn't flattened at all, just isn't white anymore as the dye from black sheets has rubbed off on it. We take it off on the weekends to let it air out, & it gets rolled up & put in the corner till Sunday night.

It folds up, but just a word of advice, I had to throw mine off in a few weeks as it was falling apart. Too risky to be moving about in a contraption which drops nuts and bolts in a few weeks.

It collapses and folds in half. That is as small as it gets. To lay flat it has to be opened up

We own two of these and they are great, but they won't fold up on themselves like you are asking. At most, they will fold 100 degrees, maybe a little more. If you want to know exactly how far they fold, let me know and I'll check it out when I get home (I'm at work right now). As the previous posting says, when flattened, it would store reasonably well. You could dissemble the unit, yes, but it's not something I'd want to do on a regular basis due to the amount of time it would take. Also, while the unit is durable for the price, it's not designed to be dissembled and then resembled on a regular basis.

I am using it to reinforce the sides of a page that will have notebook holes in it. While it seems very durable I am not sure how much folding and unfolding it will take. However, it is relatively inexpensive and would certainly give your maps a longer life. Hope this helps. Good luck. Linda

No, it doesn't. We've had ours quite awhile and it has lasted. The bottom bolts fall out often, need to put locktite on them (we use them at a child care center and move them from room to room)The other person put it folds up...There definitely is one that folds up, but the one I bought did not. I can't remember why I chose this one over the folding one, but there was something....again, ours goes through quite a bit of "abuse."

Honestly.... I wouldn't use it to fold up & move everyday. Too stiff, heavy, & doesn't fold that easy. I would go for a metal one. I have one that is light, easy to fold, a little heavy but not as cumbersome as this plastic one.
